Kim and Kris are fighting back against Ray J's false claims that they were under federal investigation. The settlement was meant to provide closure on the sex tape matter, and they're protecting their reputation from his defamatory statements.
Ray J is alleging in his countersuit that Kim and Kris have spent TWENTY YEARS lying to the public — claiming the sex tape was leaked against her will when it wasn't. That's a massive accusation, and the timing of their Hulu discussion just one month after signing the $6 million deal? Bold move, sis.
The settlement was executed in April 2023 by Kim, Kris Jenner, Ray J, and Sonja Norwood. Ray J was paid $6 million as part of the deal with financial penalties for breaking silence. The contract was titled 'Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release' and included a non-disparagement clause.
Two decades of alleged lies, a $6 million payout, and now we're in court. Either someone got very greedy or someone's telling the truth for once — either way, this drama isn't ending anytime soon.
Well, well, well. Looks like someone couldn't keep their mouth shut — and now we're all getting a front-row seat to the mess. TMZ obtained the secret settlement agreement between Kim Kardashian and Ray J that was supposed to bury the infamous sex tape drama forever. But in true Kar-Jenner fashion, things got messy fast.
The deal was executed in April 2023 by Kim, Kris Jenner, Ray J, and his mother Sonja Norwood. The contract was titled "Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release" — very official, very serious. It explicitly stated the parties agreed not to "disparage or impugn the character, reputation, integrity, honesty, business or business practices" of each other. Translation: everyone was supposed to play nice and keep the past in the past.
Here's where it gets spicy. Ray J claims he was paid $6 million as part of the deal, with financial penalties if either party broke their silence. But Ray J is now alleging in his countersuit that Kim and Kris approached HIM in 2023 to sign the agreement — essentially paying him to stop talking. And then? They broke their own deal just ONE MONTH later by discussing the sex tape on "The Kardashians" Hulu series. That's a bold strategy, Cotton.
Ray J's countersuit doesn't pull any punches either. He's claiming Kim and Kris have "spent two decades peddling the false story that the sex tape that Kardashian filmed with her former boyfriend was leaked against her will." That's a massive accusation — essentially calling them out for fabricating the entire narrative around how that tape became public. The defamation lawsuit is ongoing, with Kim and Kris claiming Ray J made up lies about them being investigated by the Feds.
The settlement also includes an interesting provision — Ray J agreed not to hold Hulu or Disney responsible for any claims, since "The Kardashians" airs on Hulu. So while everyone's pointing fingers in court, at least the streaming giant stays out of the line of fire. This is one saga that keeps giving, and with court dates still pending, we've definitely not heard the last of this.
